Yet to see soviet weapons get nerfed…
the drum variants of their SMGs use to reload so much faster
and if you want to get technical they also nerfed the ptrs though i would call that a bug fix
now weapon i know they stealth changed was the Winchester lever action as that used to have a cycle rate of 72 base, until stalingrad nerfed it down to 66 and that is the current one
there is also the blanket nerf to semi autos that no one liked but that is also a blanket nerf
They also made all those SMG shoot more “comfortable”
And buffed the RD44 before and after merge
And the fact PPS42/43 in BR2 is pretty much overkill but hey, so hard to balance right?
i have no idea what the more comfortable means so i am going to assume it’s more so it’s sound fx, no stat increases, rpd wasn’t really good to begin with decent at best (i have used it and put it down after maxing the squad)
also pps42/43 being br 2 is quite literally due to russia only have 7 smg of which those 2 are on the lower end
M30 slugs were important.
It was made as a hunting rifle for a reason.
One for slug: For bears,
Buck/bird shot for clear reasons.
and rifle round for father range hunting or protection.
In the military and how they sold the idea as a survival weapon:
A slug to kill bears.
bird shot/buck to get birds
see photo here
And a rifle round once again for bigger animals or Enemy soldiers.
And where in the german auto shotgun; the walther automatic shotgun.
